The SV Borussia Wuppertal (officially: Sport-Verein Borussia 07/12 Wuppertal eV ) was a sports club from Wuppertal . The first football team played for three years in the then fourth-class Oberliga Nordrhein .

history

The club was created in 1976 through the merger of the Germania Wuppertal club, founded in 1907, with VfL Wuppertal 12 . The latter was founded as DJK Liga Elberfeld and changed its name to DSC Elberfeld in 1934 . Two years later, DSC merged with MTV Elberfeld, founded in 1861, to form VfL Wuppertal. In 1945 the members of SC Elberfeld, founded in 1912 and banned as a workers' sports club in 1933, joined VfL, which then renamed itself VfL 1912 Wuppertal.

In 1954, Germania was promoted to the then third-class Lower Rhine regional league . Two years later, the team missed the qualification for the newly created association league Niederrhein and disappeared into lower divisions. VfL, in turn, rose to the Lower Rhine regional league in 1965 and made it into the association league two years later. After a fifth place in the 1968/69 season, he was relegated to the national league in 1970.

After the merger, Borussia was promoted to the state league in 1978 under coach Karl Henrich, before being promoted to the Niederrhein association league in 1995. In the promotion season, the team only missed the runner-up because of the worse goal difference compared to the amateurs of KFC Uerdingen 05 . During the 2000/01 season, Borussia remained undefeated and made it into the Oberliga Nordrhein with 18 points ahead of pursuers Hamborn 07 . Here the team met the local flagship Wuppertaler SV . Borussia was third behind WSV in the 2001/02 season and remained a top team in the league.

On July 1, 2004, Borussia merged with Wuppertaler SV to form Wuppertaler SV Borussia . The football historian Hardy Grüne described this act as a hostile takeover , as Wuppertaler SV neither changed the logo nor the club colors and only took over two Borussia players. The name Borussia remained controversial at WSV and was deleted from the club name on May 24, 2013. In response to this, a new club called SV Borussia Wuppertal was founded in July 2013. However, contrary to the plans when the club was founded, there was no entry into the DFB game operations in the district league C.
